I’m very shy, don’t have a lot of friends, and don’t go out at all….but I don’t want people to know about my lonely life and I don’t like to lie. What is the best response to the question, “what are you doing this weekend?”

Relaxing at home with my family, why? What are you doing?
-
the best answer would be...idk...
-
"I'll be enjoying the company of myself this weekend...unless I get a better offer!"
-
"Not sure, but whatever it is, I know I am going to enjoy myself. Enjoy your weekend, too." Then you are faced with the question on Monday: So what did you do this weekend? You just tell them "I had a blast (or similar word they use today) and can't wait until next weekend." Then be on your way. No need to elaborate.

Nothing, you want to go do something? You can't cure shyness alone.
-
"Dunno, i just go with the flow!" by saying it htis way it sounds like thats what you do most weeks, so theyre less likely to ask you again and it sounds less sad if they do ask again....no offence. x

You sound like a good and decent person, especially with this concern you have about lying to people even if it would save you embarassment or touch a nerve. I think what's important is to forget about what people think about what you did over the weekend (whether you choose to be truthful or make something up) and focus on working through the real problem, which is your shyness and loneliness. As a formerly painfully shy and lonely teenager, who also didn't go out and encountered similar questions, I know how you feel. Extreme shyness can be extremely debiliating and really hurt your chances of a happy life, as you probably know. There are special therapists that understand your problem and can help you. Probably a combination of medication (shyness is often social phobia and is really helped with things like Klonopin which treat anxiety disorders) and cognitive behavorial therapy, might just make all the difference in your life. I hope you will look into them. Good luck!

If you don't have a lot of friends, who is asking "What are you doing this weekend?". Sometimes it's more than just shy. Some people just have some lone wolf blood in them. I know I do sometimes. This weekend in fact.
-
"Nothing. What do you want to do"? Try starting there... it's not hard, honest!
-
Tell your friend anything, but do NOT tell them you have a phone date tonight and are staying in. Only people with O personality talk on those lines. Also, no personal life and the phone is all they have.

You can screw with them and tell them that you have Some Satantic rituals to engage in A few dead bodies to bury Some customers coming over for sex A liquor store to rob Just say something crazy to make them laugh.

Well, unless you wrap yourself up and stand yourself in a corner you must do something over the weekend? Whether it's just read a book or watch a movie, cook for yourself, watch TV, make it a point to remember something specific about what you are doing to talk to people about it. This will give you an opener in two ways: -it tells people a little about yourself, your interests -it is an opener for conversation, to make a connection with someone Just give yourself a chance, and remember the flip side of things. If you hear someone talking about a TV show or Street Fair or movie they liked and it sounds interesting to you, watch it then bring it up with them. I know our office talked American Idol to death the past few seasons, lol. Just take a deep breath and jump on in with a sentence or two.
